Pretty run was started years ago when Windows knew nothing about searching through start menu. It helps you find shortcuts.

Many times we know we have some program somewhere in the start menu but just takes too much time to locate its icon and run it. Pretty Run helps you with that as it searches start menu, desktop or any other folder for the shortcuts or files that meet your query.

With Vista, Windows got their own search box. But Pretty Run is now much more:

Search Internet Explorer favorites

Search Firefox bookmarks

Search Chrome bookmarks

Search printers and start printer properties

Search Control panel items

Setup internet search engines and you can search internet with selected engine

Remember last items copied to clipboard and bring them back in case you need them
